present.

Attendance in class
Class attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to arrive
punctually and participate actively in all scheduled education and
to conduct the majority of their studies and assignments at
UID.

Orientation course
An Orientation course for international students is usually held
during the last week of August (2017 week 34). We expect all
international students to participate in the course. You can find
information about the course in the International Student Guide.

Arrival date
You need to arrive on a weekday since keys are not handed out over
weekends as the accommodation offices are closed.
If you are going to participate in the Orientation course, be
prepared to arrive one week before the autumn term starts.
